look upon their life as a service
and have a clear objective in life
outside of themselves and their personal happiness.

#BlindDrams Before the reveal - I have to say that this was a fascinating set of drams - thanks @socialdrammer.bsky.social - a really enjoyable selection - can't wait to see what we've had tonight

I have a cracking idea for the next time @maltmusings.bsky.social lets me loose on picking the drams - it'll be the first time the theme actually means something but also probably be the last time I'm allowed to do it 😆

Dram 5 - Finish - A little bit watery on the finish but otherwise follows through with the peat and citrus. Makes it less of a doubt that a 4 is as high as this one goes, despite previous comments

Dram 5 Palate - dirty funky peaty everything that you shouldn't like in your mouth and yet somehow works quite well.

Everything goes over my head - I was going to add - these days - but to be fair - always.

It makes sense if it’s a Lindores joke that goes over your head. 🤣

Dram 5 - First sip, first impression this is probably going to end up a 4. Why? Because I'm enjoying it and it can't go higher because of @maltmusings.bsky.social foot fetish.
